The loco was still moving at quite a speed so I needed a very high 25k iso to freeze the movement at a shutter speed of 400.
Heavy HR applied!

I can highly recommend jumping on the open top Bath city tour bus, you can get on and off as you go around and of course you have some great vantage points up high. I was disappointed with the second route that’s available on the ticket, it sweeps out of the city and around the outskirts but most of the views are blocked by trees. So my advice would be do the city route once, get an idea of what you want to photograph then go a second time jumping on and off along the route
I have been on Flickr for many years but, as I don’t upload as many photos as I used to I decided it wasn’t worth paying a subscription.

Scorched Bath... The extreme heat has certainly given the vegetation around Bath a battering... But the heatwave did give us a couple of intense sunsets 🌄. Here is my carousel from Saturday evening overlooking Bath.
Bath skyline shows the first signs of the changing colours of Autumn. Taken from Bath City Farm with the Royal Crescent seen in the background above the new Riverside development. 2 shots merged for panoramic.

"Bath U.K"
"Bath and the stunning countryside surrounding it is one of England's most beautiful places to visit.
Bath, England, is a unique city; its hot springs, Roman Baths, splendid Abbey and Georgian stone crescents have attracted visitors for centuries. Set in rolling Somerset countryside, just over 100 miles west of London, it is a beautiful and unforgettable place to visit."

Some of the finest examples of Georgian architecture to be seen anywhere are to be found in The Royal Crescent, Bath. Designed by John Wood the Younger and built between 1767 and 1775, there are 30 Grade I listed houses overlooking this sweeping lawn (with a ha-ha).
The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Bath, commonly known as Bath Abbey, is an Anglican parish church and a former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England. Founded in the 7th century, Bath Abbey was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. ww.muttiah.com

Been living down here for nearly 5 years and this was one of the few times that I have done the tourist day out in Bath complete with open top bus tour, although any time I have to go to the city I make sure I pop into the little sweat shop over there because they sell the best range of liquorice.
These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
We arrived in late morning in Bath by train from London. Spent one night there and most of the next day.
The Royal Crescent’s foundation stone in Bath was laid, on 19th May 1767. Since then, The Royal Crescent has become a world-renowned icon, and an important representation of Georgian architectural innovation. The famous crescent is also one of the reasons why Bath was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status 30 years ago, in 1987. To celebrate the Royal Crescent’s 250th birthday, we’ve put together five fascinating facts that you may not know about one of the most famous streets in Britain.
The Houses along the Royal Crescent Are Not as Uniform as They Initially Appear
Whilst the façade of the Royal Crescent may look orderly, the rear is a jumble of differing depths and roof heights. Their ‘Queen Anne fronts and Mary-Anne backs’ are a result of each house being built by a different architect, who, whilst obliged to follow John Wood the Younger’s specifications for the façade, were under no such stipulation for the rear of each property.
The Royal Crescent Suffered Severe Damage during the Second World War.
In April 1942, No. 2 and No. 7 Royal Crescent were both gutted by incendiaries, as part of the Baedeker Raids on Bath. These houses were subsequently restored to their former glory.

The church is cruciform in plan, and able to seat 1200. An active place of worship, it also hosts secular civic ceremonies, concerts and lectures. Its congregation numbers in the hundreds, and annual visitors in the hundreds of thousands. The choir performs in the abbey and elsewhere. There is a heritage museum in the vaults.
The abbey is a Grade I listed building, particularly noted for its fan vaulting. It contains war memorials for the local population and monuments to several notable people, in the form of wall and floor plaques and commemorative stained glass. The church has two organs and a peal of ten bells. The west front includes sculptures of angels climbing to heaven on two stone ladders.

Over 70% of stallholders are businesses from Bath and the surrounding region, and 60% of goods available at the market are handmade in the UK. Products include handmade Christmas decorations, personalised gifts, hand-made toys, festive food and drink, local artwork and designer jewellery to name but a few.
The Bath Christmas Market has a romantic atmosphere and attracts thousands of visitors from across the UK. Set in the picturesque streets surrounding Bath Abbey, there couldn’t be a more perfect and magical setting for a Christmas Market. The city also boasts a unique mix of independents, designer boutiques and high street brands.
